Talk:Paranoid social cognition

Needs lots of cleanup

For starters, the Intro and the section Criteria are almost exclusively about paranoia, as opposed to paranoid social cognition. As all of the information in these sections is covered in the paranoia article I think most of this can be deleted/rewritten.

I will be restructuring the majority of this page over the coming days to make it more coherently organized and to remove much of the unnecessary/repetitive text. I'm open to any suggestions if anyone wants to help. StrangrDangr (talk) 06:19, 8 April 2016 (UTC)

Paranoia as a function of social control

Although the model emphasize the negative effect that paranoid cognition may have on person’ behaviors, paranoid cognition may have some positive effects. It is thought that vigilance and rumination may have adaptive consequence for people who are in disadvantaged with respect to his power or status inside the social system. Milder forms of paranoia may help people to maintain their motivation to detect potential threat to the self and develop strategies to cope.

Except this type of paranoia generally reinforces relationships of power between the individual and other institutions. Viriditas (talk) 05:51, 16 October 2012 (UTC)

Colbi or Colby?

It looks like the same study/article is spelled as "Colbi" and "Colby" in this. What's the correct spelling? Ron Stoppable (talk) 06:35, 5 November 2012 (UTC)
